425 8th Avenue, Ouray, CO 81427 (MLS # 742515)

You'll love this sweet home that overlooks the Switzerland of America! The property was thoughtfully separated from the larger property below, so that the family of the larger home would have their own special place. The plan worked out great, their kids have grown up, and now it's time to let someone else enjoy this cleverly designed home. The main entrance is off the alley, although there's a beautiful path that leads in from the parking areas along the street. Upstairs is a fully open living space, with large kitchen, dining area and living room with gas fireplace overlooking the town, and intended to allow a bright and quiet living space for relaxation or an amazing amount of room for outdoor adventurers to come and crash! This level has a half bath as well, and toward the north is a nicely sized redwood deck that has view across town, toward Cascade Falls and toward the Amphitheater. A broad stairway brings you to the lower level, which has the two private bedrooms, a full bath and laundry area. This level has a large central core that allows plenty of room for storage, an additional bathroom, or a possible expansion of the bedrooms. Your favorite room may just turn out to be the bonus room that you access off of the living room. This sun-bathed 375 sq foot room has more room for your friends and family to come an crash or provides a space for an elegant future master bedroom. It's currently used as two offices as well as an additional sleeping spot. The uses are endless, and it certainly gives many options to fit your needs! When you live in Ouray you like to get outside, and usually that involves some gear. So the attached, wide single car garage that you access off the alley has nice room for storage along its sides, and the covered area out front helps keep you and your vehicles out of the rain and snow. This home was built in the mid and late 90s, so this home allows you to just move in and start enjoying it. No need to rip things apart and try to start over-you'll find that it's ready to go as is. You've got newer construction, with good hot water heat, newer insulation, and quality windows. It's very close to Ouray School, so weekends, evenings and summers are very quiet-and you're just steps from a great playground! Whether this becomes the home you and your family grows up in, it's a weekend or seasonal escape, or it's simply an investment property, this home is just what you've been looking for.
